Guys,

It's probably something you're better off PM'ing thalamus for. It's not exactly relevant to Oxygen and he's stated before that he'd rather these kinds of questions in PM

2mA in city w/ good reception, 3-4mA @home w/ poor reception, 4-8mA w/out reception.

Tbh I just wiped everything wipable (backup!) and flashed back to the radio & ril in sig, removed some downloadable apps from *redux 1.1.2 themed* rom, flashed that and adb installed battery monitor widget - had to arse around w/ selecting operator and the *#*#4636#*#* thing as I had real problems connecting initially.

Battery mon estimates:

using battery discharge (5mA) =7d3h

average 100%->0% = 3d19h

global estimation = 2d14h

but it's been in standby all night w/ only 30 mins wifi browsing this am. Also, sometimes it'll get to 30% battery and then just turn off; turning it on it's at 0%.
[Desire Android Development] rlamontjr:
will oxygen ever be ported to the desire hd.?
[Desire Android Development] Kalavere:
I'd asume not unless AdamG buys one, and why would he with all the dual core phones coming out? ;)
[Desire Android Development] the.draconian:
I'm getting the 97mA with wifi on, good reception from the battery monitor widget reading

And at the moment my Global estimation is 5h 09mins which is crap

Ok, so when i flash a ROM i do factory reset, wipe the partition, wipe the dalvik cache. Is there anything else i could try wiping before a clean build?

What did you mean by "flashed back to the radio & ril in sig"?

Another thing i noticed is when i wipe the battery stats it takes longer than it used to, could i have broken something there? If so any advice?
[Desire Android Development] :
Probably because HTC fixed it, like they do with most of the the shortcomings of Android.

AAC+ rtsp streaming works in the test ROM too, because HTC fixed it.
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
No idea - I just wiped everything there was an option to in recovery - could try a nandroid backup then wipe the data, too. Something must be eating up the power, and I don't think it's the rom/os. I use Zeam launcher instead of GoLauncherEx but sure it's not that.

I flashed a leaked radio & ril (controls the telephony comms, reception etc) and they were poor for me - I doubt these would help as I'm back to what most people have from their Sense Froyo update (I think) - so reverted back to original ones.

Do a nandroid backup and flash a new/clean download of the rom and install just the battery mon widget and see how it is - if still high it's not an app.

I don't know if the no-sync mod for sqlite3 is integrated in this build/kernel, so I kindly ask if somebody would like to compile it for the latest release.

So you have turned off anything except for voice. That explains your "good" battery life.

I have one question:

Why would you need a smartphone if you just use it to do phone calls?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I get great battery life with only GPS and BT turned off (as I don't use them). Wifi is set to sleep when screen off, 3G on all the time.

I still get good battery life, I'm probably a light-medium user and could happily get 2 days usage out of my desire.. i currently use it as an ereader as well which does kind of kill the battery when you sit down and read for a couple of hours :p but just ordered a galaxy tab which should fix that.

Even today it's been running for 15 hours, half hour of browsing, couple of calls, 5-10 sms and about 1hr of reading, total screen on time is about 2.5hrs with wifi/3g on the whole time and I still have 43% charge left.
[Desire Android Development] skodri:
hi i have a question.

yesterday i flashed oxygen 2.0.3. version and today kernel thalamus 2.6.35.12. i fully charged my battery and now after 2 hours its still 100% :) because usually i have after 2 hours around 85% battery..

is this cool or its sth wrong with battery indicator app?

thank you:)
[Desire Android Development] boomam:
How are you all getting the 'ma' ratings for power usage?

[Desire Android Development] Kalavere:
mAh is the unit used for power drain, you use Current Widget to calculate the drain.
[Desire Android Development] skodri:
amazing :D i can't believe after 3hours my battery is at 98% :D:D
[Desire Android Development] sashajovicic:
Same here :)

Relax and enjoy this wonderful rom :)
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I'm afraid that's a big problem with oxygen, the battery life is so good and everything works so well that there's very little yo complain about.

It really is just that good. Your battery meter is working just fine :)

M.
[Desire Android Development] the.draconian:
Hmmmm i do wonder if it is something like a dodgy download of oxygen as i've done my flashes with the same one each time!

I really hope it is that, otherwise it must be a hardware fault :( and i'll have to mess around un S-offing, un-rooting and putting the vodafone senses on it so i can send it back! :mad:

I'll let you know!
[Desire Android Development] skodri:
Great:) i had big problems with that and with space too, now that i installed oxygen hboot and combination with this rom i decided that this is the best:) more than 300mb internal storage, great battery life and amazing performance(smooth, fast, simple).. great job adam keep up the good work:))
[Desire Android Development] beetnubbin:
Bring A massive fan and user of oxygen I'm a little sceptical of your claim. Not that I doubt you personally of course! Let newer explain.

when you flashed your rom did you wipe battery stats too. I believe it is the case that different roms must format the data in the xml differently and so can give unreliable readings when you flash? I also believe that the phone takes some time to build a picture of your battery in this data base? have read about programs/methods to clear battery stats but I suspect that all have me was an optimistic phone that died from a flat battery with 15 percent left. I also believe that this optimistic phone syndrome might affect the charging as charging stops when the phone thinks it's full? (when it's switched on at least) Does anybody who knows about these things can help clear up my understanding?

Please let us know if this appearance of excellent battery performance stays high over time and/or if when you run your battery right down what the reading is when it cuts out. This should help to test my theory. I'd do it myself but at the moment I don't ever seen to put my phone down for long enough to test a "normal usage scenario"
[Desire Android Development] the.draconian:
Not sure who you are talking too but i found that my battery effectiveness has been consistent even between ROM flashes (until lately :()

I only ever flash the battery stats when i calibrate the battery every few months, and it seems to be fairly accurate as far as turning off when it hits 0% instead of 15%

I might have completely misunderstood you but I think the battery stats are remembered between ROMs and nothing to do with each individual ROM
[Desire Android Development] skodri:
I didnt wipe battery stats i just wiped data, cache and dalvik cache. Im using phone as usually with full sync on since i have unlimited data.

But after 4 houra i have 90% battery. Usually it was like 1h>10% to 5%.. here is 2%.
[Desire Android Development] boomam:
Im aware of what mAh is ;-)

I'll have a look at the widget, it'll be interesting to see what my average draw is.

Hilarious.

I really hope dev's figure this one out, what to change from the HTC leak, and show Google that they're n00bs.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I've never touched my battery stats. My phone shuts down at ~3% which is near enough for me. Yes, you really can get a couple of days normal usage, no tricks and no extra batteries.

wifi tethering?

Hi,

Does anyone have a clue about what I can do? Problem is that i dont get any ip or only limited access when logging on my wifi tethering, it has been working fine until now. I just tried a full wipe without any luck, i can see the network and connect, but no internet :( - What can i try, is there something that can be wrong? :(
[Desire Android Development] tonypony:
so if I use kernel .35 I get heavy battery drain. So I went to .37 and it sorted it out. But now on .37 I get the USB slow speed. So I guess it's one or the other.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
Tethering works fine here. Do you receive a IP from the device on the client? Or is a static IP configured on the client?
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
I'm using kernel-2.6.35.12_r2.zip without any drain, so I think you are wrong.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I'm using .13 and again no problem. If you have not updated to 2.0.3 and you're running an old 2.6.35 (earlier than r8) then yes there were some drain issues depending on your wifi settings but this is totally resolved now.
[Desire Android Development] milkpowder:
If I left my phone asleep (ie unused) with an underclock (~2-300MHz) setCPU profile that would be possible. Actually when I used to run Froyo + JuiceDefender Ultimate with APN/data auto-on/off profiles, the battery drain was negligible, especially with 2G connection. That said, I appreciate that we have phones so that we can use them, not so that we can leave them on standby for days on end ;)
[Desire Android Development] SweetthD3ViL:
Hello all,

I searched the web and this topic, but unable to find a solution; if there is one.

It bug me to not have a icon, or a picture on "me" when text messaging..

I have tried to add a "me" in the phone directory and add an icon to that contact but that didn't work neither (I tried to reboot the phone in case for the change to take effect, and tried to send a new text message) but the "me" is still without icon!

So should there be a solution to that little details please do let me know,

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] brandall:
Long hold on the 'me' picture, select contact. It'll take you to where it thinks the details are stored - select edit and add your picture. That's what I did... You can link it to Facebook too if you want.
[Desire Android Development] dunny_:
Check this out, took 2 mins in a google search to find...

http://www.sozzer.com/how-to-set-the-me-picture-in-androids-native-messaging-app/
[Desire Android Development] milkpowder:
Actually I would like to know too. I distinctly remember when I used to have a picture. I'm not too sure when it stopped showing...:o

EDIT: ACTUALLY, the solution is very simple. Log into your Google account and set a profile pic. :) "Accidentally" stumbled upon this when I was changing some account settings just now.
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
What about reading the 2 posts under the one you quoted?!!!! :mad:
[Desire Android Development] milkpowder:
Those two posts weren't there when I refreshed my page... hope you're not as mad as you sound. :eek: Btw, the same thing happened when I commented on someone else's battery drain (3% in two hours or something). The subsequent posts weren't present when I submitted my reply otherwise I wouldn't have commented on something so trivial from a page before. Something wrong with my browser?!

This thread moves so damn quickly. By the time I go do something else for a couple minutes and come back there are new posts.

EDIT:

Turns out the problem of the grey "me" picture is trickier than I had imagined. The solution suggested above (and the one I suggested) didn't fix the problem in the native messaging app. It seems that Android's inability to associate "me" with my Google contact that I created for myself is related to the fact that my SIM card has no number associated with it (Settings>About Phone>Status>My Phone Number shows "unknown"). Since "My Phone Number" doesn't exist on my local Android Market, I'm going to pop my SIM into an iPhone (or a dumbphone) which allows one to set the SIM number manually. I'm surprised you can't set the number natively.
[Desire Android Development] Carceri:
I did it with the app "My Phone Number". Works like a charm.
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
You don't need SetCPU for underclock - Android OS (default governor - ondemand) lowers CPU speed to 245 MHz when screen is off.;)
[Desire Android Development] MajorProbes:
Really happy with this Tom, best I've used by far. Not that it needs an update, but does anyone know if there's a 2.0.4 on the horizon?
[Desire Android Development] mortenmhp:
MajorProbes: I believe it won't be long, as it have been a few weeks since last update, and several issues on the issue tracker have been fixed for release with next update, so i can't believe it'll be much longer :)
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
Today, I was out and couldn't charge my phone. By the evening I just had 15% left and then I got the message to connect to a charger. I received a call then, talked for some time, and saw that I had 14% remaining. I thought that enough for an hour and by that time I will be at home.

However, my phone quickly shut down itself even at 14% battery remaining. When I restarted it, it rebooted fine, and showed the lock screen. But the charge showed 00% and the phone again shut down itself. Next time I was not able to restart the phone.

I don't know why I was not able to utilize the remaining 14% battery.

I don't know who is the culprit here - the ROM, the Kernel, the calibration, AOSP, or my hardware.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Calibration issue. Turn off the phone and charge it until the green light comes on, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Mine dies at 6%, but it gets that low so rarely that i can't be bothered calibrating.

M.
[Desire Android Development] Ninsassin:
When you see your phone turn itself off when during low battery, its best for you not to turn it back on. I heard it will damage your battery.
[Desire Android Development] mortenmhp:
Yea it always turns off when battery gets critically low. The percentages is only calculated based on some calibration data, so there was just not 14 percent left.
[Desire Android Development] Tillus:
Have you calibrated your battery before? I believe this calibration actually causes the wrong readings. My desire also shuts down at 12 % and I tried every recalibration method described in this forum: nothing really helped so I decided to live with it. When you know your phone will power down at 1x % its not that bad,is it?
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
Brings back to the question... should we calibrate our battery or not?

Because if even after calibrating my battery, it is down at 14%, then isn't it better not to calibrate it altogether. Or am I missing a trick here?
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
Yes, I have been calibrated my battery from a long time. In past, I was kicked out at 6-7% several times, but never at 14%.

I wanted to raise this question earlier, but was lazy.

However, if a phone dies at battery 14% left, I feel there is definitely an issue somewhere.

For me, it's not an accepted behavior.
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
Thanks Ninsassin, I'll make a note of it.

I thought my phone died because of some crappy App, but then, as per your guys, the calibration was the culprit.
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
Thanks M,

I do calibrate my battery with every Rom upgrade/swap.

I follow these steps

after calibration my phone dies at 0% (lasted 2 and a half days with regular usage)

somehow I restored from a nandroid and I have to calibrate all over again.
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
with "My Phone Number" app, everytime i reboot the number is back to Unknown. weird how complicated it is to change this in AOSP. even a dumb phone can change that easily :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Carceri:
I have to admit that I haven't tried that yet. I rarely reboot my phone :)

hey guys... i dont use my phone *heaps* during the day, normal usage id classify it as.. couple texts, 2 shortish phone calls, facebook a few times, check a couple forums..

Anyways, im loving 2.0.3 oxygen mod, but im curious as to whether my kernal could be causing battery issues, as i currently couldnt go to sleep without charging my phone.

my kernal is : 2.6.35.11 -thalamus-g579476f ... should i change to .37 or is that irrelevant with 2.0.3 ?

sorry if its been mentioned, but theres 180 pages to wade through.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Stick with 2.6.35 but install the latest kernel sure. If that doesn't help i'd try a clean install as i have similar usage and my phone will go 2-3 days with that kind of use.

[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Kernel 2.6.35.12r1, charged @4138mV and went to sleep, wifi on all the time, gps on, mobile on. Screenshots :

[Desire Android Development] Schwarz33:
Some info about different kernels performance in real life. I prefer Fruit Ninja 1.5.4 as benchmark tool. ;) After testing my desire with oxy 2.0.3:

vorkkenel 2.6.37.6 CFS-SVS - unplayable, constant stuttering and lags.

thalamus 2.6.35.12.r2 - stutter only with many fruits on the screen.

thalamus 2.6.37.6.r1 - smooth and flawless game.

For me, thalamus 2.6.37.6.r1 - excellent kernel with awesome performance and great battery life.
[Desire Android Development] SweetthD3ViL:
Hi,

I have the latest oxygen, radio and the kernel advices on the second or third topic.

But I still have the 3 seconded delay bug when picking up calls, should I wipe the all lot and reinstalled it all?

Looking forward for your reply,
[Desire Android Development] simonovicc:
It wont help because delay bug is in original nexus ota 2.3.3. It should be fixed with next ota for n1
[Desire Android Development] simonovicc:
where can i download thalamus 2.6.37.6.r1

thx
[Desire Android Development] sashajovicic:
Give this a try kernel-2.6.35.12_r3-beta6.zip , i run it and believe me... mindblowing :)
[Desire Android Development] Semicuda:
Don't worry about it... stay with 2.6.35 and try the latest releases from thalamus, you can find them here:

http://thalamus.ineige.org/kernels/2.6.35/

As it happens, I play quite a lot of Fruit Ninja as well, and I never experienced any stuttering with the .35 kernels. So, Schwarz33's stuttering is probably caused by something else.

For a person that hasn't tried Oxygen since v2 RC7 (I know right?!) i have a few questions:

Does this work okay with the recently leaked Gingerbread radio? and Is there/will there be support for T mobile theme engine? I'm interested in trying something more simple and bugfree which this seems to be, but there are just these two things that i'd like to know :)
[Desire Android Development] reddev0:
No theme engine currently, check the issue tracker to see if there is already a feature request for it.

As for radio I think there are previous posts in thread saying it works. Not tried it myself, using the Oxygen recommended one here.

Does anybody know what the different colours in the phone signal bar of the battery stats screen means?

I've seen Red, Yellow, Beige and Green

Think Red is No signal and Green is HSDPA but that's just a guess as i've only kind of tested it

I don't know for sure, but my guess is signal quality.

Without anyone using the words, or a varient of ;) 'reflash/reinstall', can anyone explain why every now and then the SMS app does some strange things?

It either doesnt show anything when holding on the emoticon button, but does dim the screen like it should and put in an emoticon if i press where the icon should be, and just, when replying, the keyboard doesnt show at all, but does respond if i press where the buttons should be?

A reboot fixes it...?
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Because of the pmem issue iirc. Check the issue tracker.
